CON MUNICATIONS.
HeilS on Earth.
HOOKER. May 80, 1881.

EOOhSAI -uo ooJ AOo''
MEssRs EDITORS: - Please give
space in your valuable paper for me
to say few words in regard TO some
things in our midst, which in my
opinion ought not to be. There are
dens kept, kept up by men who claim
to be respectable. which are little else
than bells on earth.
A man will get up on a dance, send
out his cards or verbal invitati ons to
the young folks in the neighborhood tc
come and have a good time, and q
large number will go, spend four OR
five dollars they cannot afford to spare
and possibly get robbed of what lit
tie they may haye left. This with.
out single chance of indemniica-
ton.
At these places, although there is
no license to sell intoxicants, there is
some way for the youag men to get
drunk and have row before they
leave. Frequently the proprietors of
these places choose such time for
their work as will be most antago
nis.ic to christian people. Ii their
should be religious meeting going
on in the neighborhood and a likell-
hood that some OF the young folks
may be brought to see the error of
their ways, then these would be re-
spectacle men will send out their IN
vitations for their dance, to divert
the minds Of the young people and
draw them away to these little hells.
Know, o, ye would be respectable
men! That, she that converts sin
ner from the error Of his ways, saves
a soul from death and hides multi
tnde of sins" So we may infer tha.
be that prevents sinner from being
converted. may cause O. soul to be lost
and uncover multitude Of sins.
Should not such places be dealt
with as q public nuisance! Or should
the better clas of people lie dormant
and let such places go unheeded.
We believe such places worse than
licensed houses, for they get all the
liquor they want and nobody seems
to be responsible. Furthermore we
doubt the sincerity of any protesting
Christian who encourages such places
by attending them themselves, or by
encouraging or permitting their chill
dren to attend them. We believe
there are persons in our midst whose
children are more often found in ball
room. than in prayer meeting or Sab
bath School.
These places have become 30 noto-
rious that they are an insult to com
mon decency and should not be toler-
ated any longer. One of the bad
features of these places is the lateness
they are kept open. In the nights
the roughs going home, between
midnight and morning, are in the
habit of screaming like wild animals,
calling people from their bed thinking
the house is on fire, only to be salut-
ed by O volley of oaths and vulgarity.
Will some one be so good as to sug-
gest way OF putting stop to these
things and oblige many lovers of
morality and good order? 1 hope no
one will infer from these lines that
these places are located just here, as
that is not the case, but we are un-
fortunately on the line of travel to
and from them and are subjected to
insults from persons from a distan ce,
besides the modification of knowing
that some of our own neighborhood
are participants in the carousals.

BlOOdShed at NatrCna.

Since the beginning Of the strike at
Natrona, fears have been entertained
that a disturbance would occur. 1t
seems that the better feeling has at
last resulted in bloodshed, and will
perhaps cause a death. Late last
Saturday night a dispatch from Ma
trona gave the startling intelii-
gence that the non union men at the
Pennsylvania Salt manufacturing
works had fired into knot Of five or
six men from Creighton, who were
standing above the depot. Two of
them were struck, and one, man
named Green, was shot in the breast,
and at first it was reported that his
wounds were fatal The other receiv-
ed two slight wounds. Later inves-
tigation showed that Green's injuries
were not so bad as reported and he
was taken to his home at Creighton.
For some time past there has been
various stories told of the arming of
the non-union men at the works. 1t
is said they were furnished by the
firm with English bulldog revolvers,
and not long since it was reported
that they had a sh ooting-match
among themselves in the works.
The strike of the Natrona men is
to be brought before the general Off
GERS of the Knights of Labor.

The price of ordinary package coffee
was raised to 2s cents pound last week, and
a good article of loose, roasted Rio went to
fancy figures. The causes of this startling ad-
vance are stated TO be an increase in the con.
sumption and shortage in the crops of Bra
zil, Java and Ceylon, but speculation is al
ways the half of it. The present syndicate
which is booming prices is composed of New
York, French and Brazilian houses, and one
New York house is said to have already
cleared over half million dollars on the
rise. Gambling in coffee has run wild in
that city, and bag Of coffee that cost sl3 a
year ago is now sold at s26. The shortage in
the Ceylon and lava crops is attributed to
leaf disease, but no reason is given for the
alleged shortage in Brazil, and there proba.
bly, is none OF any account. A gentlema n
who has Travelled all over Brazil told US a
short time ago that the coffee crop of that
country resembed the wheat crop of this
country, and that there was but little varia.
ton in it. If the present condition and prices
continue, the people of this country will pay
many millions more for their coffee this year
than last, unless they see fit to paralyze the
spectators by discontinuing the use Of the
article for few weeks.

While some men were switching loaded
lumber cars at Gallery Junction last We'd
nesday afternoon, q car escaped them and
started on the down grade towards Evans
City. Two men ran after it but could not
overtake it, and on the sharp curve on the
Marburger farm about mile below the
Junction, it met and came in collision with
the Express for Pittsburg. The fireman OF
the Express saw the car first, and had time
to drop to the floor Of the cab. He was
thrown out and escaped without serious in
juries, but the engineer, man naued Shook,
who lives at Mars Station, was instantly
killed, his skull being fractured and his neck
broken. None other Of the trainmen or pas
sengers were hurt. The engine was badly
